For those of us who truly care about health, we eat organic food, we drink ultra-purified water, we exercise, we meditate, we do yoga, we have a positive attitude, we use clean personal care products and the list goes on and on and on.

But arguably the most important aspect of staying healthy is something that nearly all people ignore – breathing clean air.

Here are the startling facts:

– We spend approximately 90% of our lives indoors.

– According to the EPA, the air quality indoors is 2-5 times worsethan it is outside.

And if you have children with allergies or asthma, clean air inside becomes even more critical.

That is why this announcement by Papa John’s is so significant. Read more »

As part of Danone’s acquisition of WhiteWave, it must sell the world’s largest organic yogurt brand.

A major piece of news broke this past week when French-based Danone announced that it had reached an agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) that it would sell its entire stake in Stonyfield in order to get approval for its $12.5 billion acquisition of WhiteWave Foods.

The DOJ said that “Without the divestiture, the proposed acquisition likely would reduce competition between the two leading participants and top brands in the markets for raw and fluid organic milk, potentially harming dairy farmers in the Northeast and U.S. consumers of fluid organic milk.” Read more »

One of the most unheralded but important aspects of Natural Products Expo West are the trade show booths themselves.

Some companies put a tremendous amount of thought and effort into their booths, and I like to acknowledge those brands that go above and beyond what is generally expected.

As such, after each Natural Products Expo West, I give awards to my the best trade show booths. For me, the themes of this year’s winners were originality, artistic creativity, and interactive experiences.

Here are my best trade show booths from Natural Products Expo West 2017.

KASHI
